More Insights

Built in 1978 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this property has undergone extensive and thoughtful renovations, bringing it to a high 'move-in ready' standard. The kitchen features modern cabinetry, stone countertops, new tile flooring, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing to be recent updates. Bathrooms are also updated with contemporary fixtures, custom tiled showers, and modern vanities. Hard-surface flooring, fresh paint, upgraded windows/doors, central AC, and a tankless water heater further contribute to its excellent condition. While the visible components are of excellent quality and appear recently updated, the underlying structure's age (1978) places it firmly in the 'Good' category, as it's extensively renovated within the 5-15 year timeframe, rather than being a newly built or very recently (within 5 years) fully renovated property.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Turnkey & Modern Updates: The residence is fully turnkey with thoughtful updates throughout, including hard-surface flooring, fresh paint, upgraded windows/doors, a remodeled kitchen with stone countertops, updated bathrooms, custom shutters, central AC, and a tankless water heater.
Exclusive Gated Community: Located within Kensington Park Villas, a private, 38-acre gated hillside community, offering enhanced security, a serene park-like setting, and a sense of seclusion.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from resort-style living with access to two pools, two spas, and a clubhouse, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere.
Strategic Central Location: Centrally located in San Diego with direct pedestrian entry into Kensington, providing close proximity to neighborhood shops, dining, and convenient access to major freeways (I-8, I-15, I-805) and Mission Valley.
Flexible Dual Primary Suites: The property features two primary suites with updated bathrooms, offering versatile living arrangements ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.

Cons

Substantial Monthly HOA Fee: The association fee of $760.00 per month is considerably high, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership that may impact buyer affordability.
Townhouse Configuration: As a townhouse, the property likely shares walls with neighboring units, which could result in less privacy and potential noise transfer compared to a detached single-family home.
Age of Building (1978): Despite extensive updates, the property's original construction year of 1978 means the underlying building structure and some systems are older, which could be a consideration for buyers preferring newer construction.
